/// Calculates the annualized volatility (standard deviation) of portfolio returns.
///
/// Volatility is calculated as the standard deviation of returns, annualized by
/// multiplying the daily standard deviation by the square root of the period:
/// `Standard Deviation * sqrt(period)`
///
/// Uses Bessel's correction (ddof=1) for sample standard deviation.
/// This provides a measure of the portfolio's risk or uncertainty of returns.
